I wasn’t sure each day what I would blog about. I’d let the thought come out during my meditation. Even then, I wasn’t sure what I was going to say. I have to say I surprised myself by the end. This is what I realized… The only person that thinks I’m less than is me. I am truly my harshest critic and I’m not very nice about it either. I’m actually mean to myself in my critiques. I’m always looking…

I’ve been eating right, exercising and going to the doctor as needed. A few weeks ago I saw my specialist for MS. I’ve been seeing a podiatrist for the fungus and the swelling blisters on my toes. Today I’m off to the vascular doctor to discuss the swelling in the extremities and see if I can get any answer to that. Then I have to make the decision if I want to go to the endocrinologist and go further to…
I’m doing Zumba this morning. I decided to do one of the longer programs which means I’d be sitting soon. I now sit on my big comfy chair, at the edge, because first I could see the doggy pad and keep an eye on what Zoey is doing, and second because I find my comfy chair has a little bounce so it helps me bop. I got tired fast doing Zumba so I sat after the third song, but my…

It’s Friday. Happy Friday to everyone. It’s a gloomy day again in New York. That’s OK I’m happy to report I don’t need to go out today. I’m going Swimming though. I’ve been doing laps in the pool. LAPS!!!! I wasn’t able to do that a few months ago. I was hardly able to do a stroke. LAPS!!!! It’s exciting. The truth is my body remembers how to swim even though I haven’t tried it in years. . My feet…
My mother sent me a text yesterday to write down the questions I have for the neurologist. It’s been 20 years, what questions do I still have for the neurologist? I know the research, I know what’s out there and I know what I’m on. Unfortunately, there is nothing for secondary progressive and therefore there is nothing that will stop the MS progression at this point. I’m very positive, but I’m also a realist. I’m not gonna run around with…
So I went to the podiatrist. As soon as he looked at my feet the first words he said was your feet are swollen. He asked if I could possibly have Raynaud’s syndrome, have I seen a vascular doctor? Oy-vey… I knew the swelling isn’t normal but another doctor. He said the good news is I feel the pulse, that means that the blood is in there still circulating through my feet. However, he said this is the circulatory issue…
Every six months it’s hard to remember what happens. I should look back to my own blog posts. I was so wrapped up in how the steroids made me sick that I forgot that they would also give me burst of energy. It explains how I stood for a half an hour during a work out. This week that burst of energy went from 100 to about 30. I wrote that my workout was pretty bad in terms of stamina…
I slept in this morning. It was nice. I think even my dogs were still tired because both of them remained snuggled up next to me in bed. I woke up again with a headache. The good news is is that regular aspirin helps and then it goes away, the bad news is that I think this is my fifth or sixth day waking up with a headache. This time I think it’s a little more weather related because it’s…
